[0030] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that although the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, it does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. The specific structures and functional details disclosed herein are only used to describe the embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be embodied in many alternative forms, and it should not be understood that the present invention is limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
[0031] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a towel drying rack is provided. Figure 1 and Figure 2One specific embodiment is shown.
[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the towel drying rack includes: a fan 1, which has an electric heating wire connected to a power supply; an electric mosquito repellent 2, which is used to electrocute mosquitoes; a storage rack, including a drying tube 31 for placing clothes and a mounting frame 32 for fixing to a base, and the drying tube 31 is connected to the mounting frame 32; wherein the drying tube 31 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 1, and an air outlet hole 311 is provided at the bottom of the drying tube 31; the fan 1 and the electric mosquito repellent 2 are both connected to the mounting frame 32; a detection mechanism 4, which is arranged on the drying tube 31, and is used to detect the current humidity information of the clothes; and a controller, which is communicatively connected to the fan 1, the electric mosquito repellent 2 and the detection mechanism 4, and the controller is used to control the electric mosquito repellent 2 to perform corresponding actions, and, according to the received current humidity information, correspondingly control the fan 1 to perform corresponding actions.
[0033] The fan 1 can provide wind power to help speed up the drying process and remove moisture from the clothes through air flow. At the same time, because the fan 1 is provided with a heating wire, the heating wire generates heat when it is energized, and the hot air produced when the fan 1 is discharged can heat and dry the clothes or towels placed on it. In this way, the heat can act directly on the clothes through the drying tube 31, or it can act on the clothes through the hot air blown out of the blowing hole, which helps to help the clothes dry evenly. The mounting frame 32 fixes the entire storage rack to a substrate (such as a wall). The detection mechanism 4 is arranged on the drying tube 31, which can detect the current humidity information of the clothes and provide data support for the controller. The electric mosquito device 2 can kill mosquitoes with electricity, for example, by electric shock or attraction and killing, to keep the environment clean.
[0034] The controller is connected to the fan 1, the electric mosquito repellent 2 and the detection mechanism 4, and the electric mosquito repellent 2 can be controlled by the controller to perform corresponding actions, such as turning on or off. In addition, the controller can also intelligently control the working state of the fan 1 and the heating wire according to the current humidity information provided by the detection mechanism 4 to achieve an efficient drying effect. For example, when the humidity is high, the speed of the fan 1 and the power of the heating wire are increased; when the humidity drops to a certain level, the heating and blowing are reduced or stopped.
[0035] Through the above technical solution, the towel drying rack not only has a drying function, but also integrates an electric mosquito repellent 2 to provide an additional environmental cleaning function. Through the adjustment of the intelligent controller, the drying parameters can be automatically adjusted according to the humidity of the clothes, the drying efficiency can be improved, and the comfort and hygiene of the environment can be maintained, which has good practicality.
[0036] In one embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the drying tube 31 is made of a heat-conducting material; the detection mechanism 4 is arranged on the top surface of the heat-conducting tube. The heat-conducting material has good heat conductivity, so that heat can be transferred more effectively inside the material, which is beneficial to evenly distribute heat and improve drying efficiency. The detection mechanism 4 is arranged on the top surface of the heat-conducting tube (i.e., the drying tube 31), which is convenient for installation, maintenance or data reading, and can more accurately detect the humidity of clothes or towels.
[0037] Based on the above scheme, the drying tube 31 can ensure that heat can be efficiently and evenly transferred to the object being dried. At the same time, in order to monitor the key parameters in the drying process, the detection mechanism 4 is set on the top surface of the drying tube 31, which can facilitate data collection and monitoring, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring results, thereby optimizing the entire drying process.
[0038] Specifically, the longitudinal cross-section of the drying tube 31 is square, and the detection mechanism 4 is attached to the top surface of the drying tube 31. The longitudinal cross-section of the drying tube 31 is square, which helps to improve the heating efficiency and the uniformity of heat distribution. The detection mechanism 4 is attached to the top surface of the drying tube 31. This setting is convenient for real-time monitoring of parameters such as humidity of the towel rack, so as to intelligently control the heating and drying process. Based on the structural design of the drying tube 31, the contact area with wet clothes and wet towels can be increased, thereby improving the drying efficiency of clothes.
[0039] Electric towel racks are usually made of materials such as low-carbon steel, and have excellent drying and heating effects and a soft feel.
[0040] In one embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the storage rack further includes an inner frame 33, and the inner frame 33 is disposed in the area between the drying tube 31 and the mounting frame 32. In the design of the storage rack of the electric heated towel rack, the inner frame 33 is cleverly disposed in the area between the drying tube 31 and the mounting frame 32. The presence of the inner frame 33 enhances the stability of the overall structure and ensures the stability and durability of the towel rack during use. By reasonably designing the structure of the inner frame 33, the space between the drying tube 31 and the mounting frame 32 can be more effectively utilized, thereby improving the storage capacity of the storage rack. The inner frame 33 may also play a role in assisting heat transfer, so that the heat generated by the drying tube 31 is more evenly distributed to the storage rack, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0041] Specifically, the electric mosquito repellent 2 is arranged in the lower area of the inner frame 33. The inner frame 33 is cleverly arranged between the drying tube 31 and the mounting frame 32, and the electric mosquito repellent 2 is located in the lower area of the inner frame 33, which can play a supporting and stabilizing role, and may also form a certain protection for the electric mosquito repellent 2, while not affecting the normal use of the electric towel rack.
[0042] In the present disclosure, the mounting bracket 32 is fixed to the base (wall) by fasteners such as screws, etc., by the mounting seat 34 on the mounting member.
[0043] In a possible design, the mounting frame is provided with a lighting lamp electrically connected to a power source, and the lighting lamp is communicatively connected to a controller. The lighting lamp is used to provide lighting, and is electrically connected to a power source, thereby obtaining electrical energy from the power source to operate normally. It should be noted that the connection between the power source and the lighting lamp needs to be safe and stable, and comply with relevant electrical safety standards.
[0044] In the present disclosure, the controller can control and adjust the lighting lamp, and the lighting lamp and the controller can realize information transmission and reception of control instructions through a communication connection (which may be wired or wireless). The controller can turn the lighting lamp on and off, adjust the brightness, adjust the color temperature, etc. according to a preset program or user input.
[0045] Furthermore, the lighting can be turned on and off by voice control, touch control, etc. This control method not only improves the convenience of use, but also increases the intelligence and personalization of the lighting system.
[0046] When voice control is adopted, the user can control the switch of the lighting lamp by speaking a specific voice command. Under this technical concept, a corresponding voice recognition module (such as a microphone array) is configured, and the voice recognition module is connected to the controller for communication. When the voice recognition module captures the user's voice command, the controller will parse the command and send a corresponding control signal to the lighting lamp, thereby realizing the switch operation.
[0047] When using touch control, users can control the switch of the lighting by touching a specific area or button. The touch sensor can sense the user's touch action and convert the touch signal into an electrical signal and send it to the controller. The controller performs the corresponding control operation based on the received signal.
[0048] Specifically, the lighting lamp is configured as an LED lamp.
[0049] The controller may adopt the microprocessor or single-chip microcomputer described below (both are prior art) to realize the control logic of the lighting lamp through programming. The communication connection may adopt a wired method (such as RS232, I2C communication protocol, etc.) or a wireless method (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.), and those skilled in the art may flexibly configure it according to the design requirements and costs.
[0050] In the present disclosure, the fans 1 are provided in two groups and are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 32. The two groups of fans 1 can assist the heating element and speed up the drying speed.

[0053] The matching design of the limit groove and the limit platform 6 improves the stability of the hanger 51 on the mounting frame 32, preventing shaking or falling off during use. Through simple embedding and pulling out actions, users can easily install and disassemble the hanger 51, which is convenient for daily cleaning and maintenance.
[0054] Specifically, the limiting groove is configured as a square groove, and the limiting platform 6 is configured as a square boss. Through the cooperation of the two, the deflection of the hanger 51 can be prevented, thereby ensuring the stability of the positioning effect.
[0055] Furthermore, the towel drying rack also includes a tray 52, which is connected to the rack 51. The tray 52 can be used as an additional platform for placing small items, such as toiletries, mobile phones, etc., thereby increasing the use space of the drying rack. In addition, water droplets may fall during the process of drying the towels. The tray 52 can effectively collect these water droplets to prevent them from wetting the ground or causing other inconveniences. The provision of the tray 52 makes it more convenient for users to take and put towels without worrying about items falling or getting wet, thereby improving the overall user experience.
